She accidentally stepped into the edge of this web, owned by this spider. It was also accompanied by two huge egg sacks. I watched her struggle for a little while. Meanwhile, the big spider didn’t even know she was there. Her web was very big and the praying mantis was stuck in the part that was attached onto the deck railing.

She was able to free herself and if not, of course, I would’ve helped. Afterwards, I watched her cruise away. At one time she turned her head to look at me. Probably because I practically had my lens touching her head. I’ve got a nice blurro shot of her alien-like face against a clear background. Still working on the use of the macro on the new camera. I’ll figure it out soon.

On Sunday, October 25th before heading to the yoga retreat I noticed these jet streams that had crossed one another. They made a huge X pretty much dead center in our picture window. My camera was at the studio, so I told Frank to grab his. Isn’t this cool? This was taken around seven or so in the morning, facing east.

The day before yesterday, I was up early as I have been lately because my body goes by the the sun. I don’t adjust well to daylight savings time and neither do our animals. So at 4:30 a.m. I’ve been up feeding them because they know it’s 5:30 a.m. The moon was huge out back and the yard was flooded with light. So what the heck. I grabbed a cup of coffee and my camera. I took this around 6:00 a.m. and I love it.

The trees look so spooky and the moon is so bright. I took several, but this one where the zoom is tight is the best. I love this time of year.
